    Buffett's Berkshire is sued by Haslam family over Pilot truck stop takeover
    Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is being sued by the billionaire Haslam family, which accused the conglomerate of using improper accounting to devalue its remaining 20% stake in Pilot Travel Centers, the largest U.S. truck stop operator. The family, including Cleveland Browns football team owner Jimmy Haslam, sold Berkshire a 38.6% Pilot stake for $2.8 billion in 2017 and another 41.4% stake for $8.2 billion in January. According to a complaint made public on Thursday in Delaware Chancery Court, Berkshire has unilaterally and without consent adopted "pushdown" accounting rules that artificially reduce Pilot's earnings before interest and taxes, and "grossly" reduce how much the Haslams would receive if they sold their remaining stake.  ( 33 min )

    Analysis-Anti-obesity drugs can be boost for food makers, investors say
    The growth in demand for appetite suppressing anti-obesity drugs like Novo Nordisk's Wegovy presents opportunities for food manufacturers and the market's initially downbeat reaction may be overdone, investors say. When Walmart said this month that it saw a slight pullback in food consumption when people took the medication, it sparked a sell off in shares of companies including Nestle, the world's biggest packaged food maker.

    Gold slips from 5-mth peak as investors look to US economic data
    Gold prices retreated from last session's five-month peak on Monday as the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields strengthened ahead of crucial economic data this week, with investors looking for any signs of a global fallout of the Middle East conflict. Spot gold was down 0.4% at $1,972.39 per ounce by 0334 GMT, and U.S. gold futures slid 0.5% to $1,983.50.

    Argentina market analysts see silver lining in Peronist election win
    A surprise first place for Argentina's ruling Peronists in a general election on Sunday could calm market fears about a runaway win for libertarian radical Javier Milei who has pledged to dollarize the economy and shut the central bank. Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa won around 36.5% of the vote ahead of right-wing outsider Milei with just over 30%, far outperforming pre-election polls and setting up a polarized run-off vote on Nov. 19 between the two. Analysts said the result should alleviate fears about a sudden devaluation of the local peso currency and reduce the likelihood of the country ditching the peso any time soon, with the eventual winner likely to have a weak mandate.  ( 33 min )

    Some investors believe a bond market selloff that has pushed the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield to 5% may have more room to run, as the Federal Reserve gives little indication of veering from its "higher for longer" mantra. Fed Chair Jerome Powell walked a narrow line in his speech before the New York Economic Club on Thursday, saying the stronger-than-expected economy might warrant tighter financial conditions while also noting emerging risks and a need to move with care. Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury, which move inversely to bond prices, rose briefly to 5% late on Thursday, a closely watched level not seen since 2007.  ( 34 min )

So we are seeing investors positioning in safe havens," said Kyle Rodda, financial market analyst at Capital.com.  ( 33 min )

    3 REITs Near 52-Week Lows Just Received An Analyst Downgrade

But it's unusual to see downgrades come after stocks have been pummeled, have no recent bad news and are near or at 52-week lows. The reason it's unusual is that analysts who downgrade stocks or slice price targets near 52-week lows run the risk of piling on too late and being embarrassed as an oversold stock rebounds and performs very well over the next few m  ( 35 min )

    SPAC returns remaining $533 million raise for Trump social media deal
    Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC), the blank-check acquisition company that plans to merge with former U.S. President Donald Trump's social media firm, said on Thursday it would return to investors $533 million raised for a cash infusion in the deal, after some already backtracked on another $467 million of commitments. The development is the nail in the coffin of the $1 billion investment that DWAC had raised for the merger with Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which runs the Truth Social platform. It raises further doubts about whether the former U.S. president will go ahead with the deal, now that TMTG no longer stands to receive $1 billion if and when it closes.  ( 32 min )

A judge last month ruled that Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, committed years of fraud by exaggerating the value of Trump’s assets and net worth on the financial statements he gave to banks, insurers and others to make deals and secure loans.  ( 33 min )

    The International Monetary Fund is carefully watching global bond market developments after a recent U.S. selloff, the fund's top economist said, adding that a tightening of financial conditions was among risks facing the global economy.

"It might just reflect the fact that there is more of it, and so the price is adjusting," he said in an interview about the IMF's quarterly global outlook update released on Tuesday in Marrakech, Morocco, during the annual IMF and World Bank meetings.  ( 31 min )

    Exxon-Pioneer tie up could squeeze US shale oil suppliers, pipelines
    Top U.S. oil producer Exxon Mobil's planned acquisition of the No. 1 Permian shale producer Pioneer Natural Resources could further restrain output growth in the largest U.S. oilfield, squeezing pipeline companies and suppliers, executives and energy advisors said.

    U.S. stocks skid, oil surges on Middle East uncertainty
    U.S. stock futures slipped in Asia on Monday as the military conflict in the Middle East boosted oil and Treasuries, while the sizzling September U.S. jobs report raised the rate stakes for inflation figures later in the week. A holiday in Japan made for thin conditions but the early bid was for bonds and the safe harbours of Japanese yen and gold, with the euro the main loser. "The risk is higher oil prices, a slump in equities, and a surge in volatility that supports the dollar and yen, and undermine 'risk' currencies," said analysts at CBA in a note.  ( 33 min )

    Middle East conflict adds new risks to global economic outlook
    The outbreak of military conflict in the Middle East may leave central bankers battling new inflationary trends as well as deal a blow to economic confidence at a time when they had expressed growing hope about containing the price surge sparked by the pandemic and Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. The stunning violence in Israel, with hundreds killed as fighters from the Hamas movement invaded from their Gaza enclave and Israel responded in force, added the possibility of a broader Middle East conflict to the sense of global instability sparked by Russian military actions almost 20 months ago. "It’s too early to say" what the implications may be, though oil and equity markets may see immediate fallout, Agustin Carstens, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements, said in a presentation to the National Association for Business Economics.  ( 33 min )

    World's biggest bond markets hit by relentless selling
    An unrelenting selloff in world government bond markets pushed U.S. 30-year Treasury yields to 5% for the first time since 2007 and Germany's 10-year borrowing costs to 3% on Wednesday, moves that could hasten a global economic slowdown.

In the U.S. Treasury market -- considered the bedrock of the global financial system -- 10-year yields have soared almost 30 basis points (bps) to 4.8% this week alone, and are up almost 100 bps this year, having jumped over 200 bps in 2022.  ( 32 min )

    US judge refuses to overturn Exxon permit denial to truck crude oil in California
    A U.S. judge on Wednesday refused to overturn a California county's decision to block Exxon Mobil Corp from using tanker trucks to ship crude oil from coastal facilities to inland refineries while a ruptured pipeline is fixed.

Gee ruled that while Exxon has a right to operate its offshore oil platforms and related infrastructure in the area, it does not have a vested or fundamental right to use trucks to transport its crude while the pipeline system is fixed.  ( 33 min )
